Listen from:
A converted Indian was one day attacked by another member of his tribe who put a gun to his head, exclaiming, “Now I’ll shoot you, for you speak nothing but Jesus.”
The Indian Christian replied, “If Jesus does not permit you, you can’t shoot me.”
The man was so surprised at this answer that he dropped his gun and went home in silence.
“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust... He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust.” Psalms 91:2,42I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Psalm 91:2)
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (Psalm 91:4)
